Residents turn out to protest ‘warehouse-ification’ of the Poconos (Coolbaugh)

Submitted by staff on

About 70 people from around the Poconos are begging the state’s Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to stop the region’s newest warehouse.

Blue Ridge Real Estate (BRRE) wants to build its second warehouse on State Route 940 in Kidder Township, Carbon County. Some residents fear the project doesn’t take enough precautions to protect Black Creek, a DEP-designated high quality stream.

They formed LOVE Kidder Township, a protest group to fight what they see as region-wide warehouse overdevelopment.
